DEMOCRATIC GROWTH.
Why the Peopl, VIII BE Averse to n
Political Change Next Year.

POLITICAL CnanSe Next year.
1t is a curious illustration of Amer
lean politics and ut the same time a
significant tribute to the conservative
spirit of the Democracy that the most
potent argument three years ago in
favor of keeping the Republican party
in power is becoming one of the most
potent arguments in favor of the con-
tinued ascendancy of its antagonist.
When the Republican organs and lead
ers had exhausted every other reason
for making Mr.. Blaine President in
1884, they crowned the discussion with
this supreme consideration: that it
would be unwise and hazardous to
make a change. Republicanism was
safe; 1t had been in power for six
quadrennial terms, and the country
knew what it was. The Democratic
party had been out of power so long
that it had forgotten how to govern;
it was raw, clumsy, ignorant, mex
perienced and somewhat revolution
ary-and it would be unsafe to intrust
the finances, the revenues, the army
and navy and the Indian and public
lands bureaus to such 2 party. Let
the Government remain in the hands
of those who have administered it so
well.
Who would hsve thought that in less
than three years this same considera-
ton would become a bulwark of the
party it was employed against and be
chief reason for keeping the
party that employed it out of
poweri And yet the Republican or
gans themselves are recognizing the
contented condition of the public mind
under the Democratic Administration
as the most formidable impediment in
their way in the next contest The
very papers that vainly attempted to
make the country believe it would be
hazardous and unwise to make change
in 1884, are forced to confess that the
country believes it would be hazardous
and unwise to make a change in 1888
One of these papers admits with uncon-
cealed chagrin that ''there are multi
tudes of timid, easy-going people who
are already saying that Cleveland is
good enough President for them;" and
another says lit must be admitted that
there are not few Republicans who
take but little interest in politics. and
who express mild approval of the Demo-
cratic President"
This contentedness of the public
mind under Democratic regime will

The Queens Rigid Regulations In Regard
to Divorced Women.
One of the papers recently announced
that the Queen had sent a message to a
lady who was divorced from her hus-
band Il few years ago, but who was per-
fectly blameless, and whose position
excited general sympathy, that her Maj
esty was prepared to receive her at
court. There is no truth in this state
ment. The rule that divorced ladies
can not either attend or be presented at
court il vigorously enforced. The Queen
was exceedingly anxious to relax this
regulation in cases where the lady's
conduct had been unexceptionable, but
after the advice of the highest legal au-
thOrities had been taken Cncluding the
late Lord Cairns and Lord Selborne), it
was decided that it would be injudicious
to make any exceptions. A few years
ago the most desperate efforts were
made in the highest quarters to pass
well-known lady who had divorced her
first husband under somewhat sensa-
tional circumstances, but they failed. to

had deemed herself so certain to re-
ceive the magical cards that she had not
only ordered her dress, but had -exhib-
tied it to many of her intimate friends.
On the other hand, lady who is judi
cially separated from her husband is at
liberty to go to court if the separation
were brought about by his misconduct

HOW The ROBIN CANE.


Happy young friends, sit by me,
Under Mays blown apple tree;
Hear story, strange and old,
BY the wild Indians told,
How the robin came to be.
Once great chief left his SON,
Well beloved, his only one,
When the boy was well nigh grown,
In the trial lodge alone.
Left for fortunes long and slow
Youths like HIM must undergo,
Who their pride of manhood test,
Lacking water, food and rest.
Seven days the fast he kept,
Seven nights he never slept.
Then the poor boy, wrung with pain,
Weak from natures overstrain,
Faltering, moaned low complaint:
t'Spare me, father. for faintr'
But the chieftain, haughty-eyed,
Hid his pity in his pride.
lyon shall be hunter good,
Knowing never lack Of food;
You shall be a warrior great,
Wise as fox and strong as bear;
Many scalps your belt shall wear,
II with patient heart you wait
One day more ~ the father said
When, next morn, the lodge he sought,
anu DOICO SdIlD luOOSt meal
For the boy, he found him dead.
As with grief his grave they made,
And his bow beside him laid,
Pipe, and knife, and wampum braid
On the lodge top overhead,
Preening smooth its breast OF red
And the brown coat that it wore,
Sat bird, unknown before.
And, as if with human tongue,
''Mourn me not it said or sung;
81, bird, am still your son.
Happier than if hunter feet,
Or brave. before your feet
Laying scalps in battle Won.
Friend OF man, my song shall cheer
Lodge and corn land; lowering near,
To each wigwan shall bring
Tidings Of the coming spring;
Every child my voice shall know
In the moon of melting snow,
When the NAPLES red bud swells,
And the wind flower lifts its bells;
AS their fond companion
Men shall henceforth O&n your 500,
And my song shall testify
That OF human kin am II
Thus the Indian legend saith
How, at first, the robin came
With a sweeter life from death,
Bird for boy, and still the same
If my young friends doubt that this
Is the robins genesis,
Not in vain is still the myth
II a truth be found herewith:
Unto gentleness belong
Gifts unknown to pride and wrong;
Happier far than hate is praise,
He who sings than he who Stays

Mr.. Ames had, by this time, worked
himself into quite vehement state of
mind. He ostensibly addressed Mr..
Gilkcy. but it is not strange that the
consciousness that the stranger was an
interested listener caused him to elab-
crate his argument with the distinct
ness and precision of one who feels
that he is making good point. He
now glanced for approval of his senti-
menta from MIR. Gilkey to the stranger,
and The latter seemed encouraged to
venture remark.
What particular style of man do
you want for pastor?'' he inquired.
I'VE want first-class man." said
Mr.. Ames, with the air OF reciting a
well-learned lesson. 'Some one who

bound to consider their feelings But
it takes man with some tact to get

angles of extension, making notes of all
of these, as well as sketches, and doing
this day after day. week after week, and

all farmers. A great deal of such work

true value of each is taken into account.
But lately. the above described method
of testing the percentage of cream has
been abandoned at most creameries as un-
fair and inaccurate. These test tubes
have generally been discarded by accu-
rate workers in dairy manipulations as
giving no certain indication of the butter
qualities of milk. This has resulted. as
Prot. Alvord of the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College has shown, for the reason
that the relation between the weight OF
the butter product and the total milk is
very different from that of the bulk of
cream and the bulk OF milk. The oil

Prof. Alvord saws, is 1.-The only certain
